Chapter 12

Design Flow

One of the engineers said, “It looks like you’re just solving the problems by throwing a lot of silicon at the problem.” I pointed out that the silicon is very cost-effective. It’s the screw-ups that are expensive, as well as the ability to get something good enough to ship consistently. “It’s bad product design that’s expensive,” I said.

12.1 Introduction

At this point in the book it is time to bring it all together and describe how all the pieces of this model-based engineering (MBE) puzzle fit. There are some things that are common to the design of systems independent of the type of system (i.e., electronic, mechanical, structural, etc.). ...
